Tagging guidelines

This tag includes common artistic errors that slip into a submitted image. The artistic quality of the image itself is unimportant, and the nature of the anatomy to a large extent should be as well. This tag's application to deviations from "realistic", or "expected" anatomy should be kept to a minimum, in regards to both form and function.
Proper usages
  • Continuity errors - Plot holes, incorrect sequences of events, or other inconsistencies.
  • One or more miscolored anatomical features, especially if it relates to a more established character or set piece.
  • Mislabeled frames, or sections - The label does not describe what it is supposed to describe.
  • Flip/rotate errors - Text that appears upside down or backwards.
  • Anatomy that is upside down, or not mirrored when it should be. Having multiple left or right hands or feet is an example.
Improper usages
  • Style inconsistencies between frames. Anatomy changing slightly, or stuff being drawn differently from frame to frame is probably not an error.
  • Do not use for bad, or poorly drawn anatomy, numbers of digits, numbers of legs, or the number of any anatomical feature for that matter. This is a matter of artistic liberty, and is not a mistake.
    • Anatomy that bends in ways that it probably shouldn't.
    • Digits that are longer, or shorter than expected.
    • Misplaced anatomy probably shouldn't use this tag either. Check to see if an `unusual_[anatomy]_placement` tag is applicable instead.
    • Size inconsistencies probably should not use this tag. It might be an error, or it might be intentional. A character with two differently sized breasts is better tagged as asymmetrical_breasts. The same applies for other anatomy that comes in pairs.
  • A species having the 'wrong' anatomy should use anatomically_inaccurate instead.
  • Do not use for typos.
